HORSHAM Swimming Club had success in the pool at the 2014 Winter Swim Series in Hamilton.

Fifteen Horsham swimmers competed in a field made up of 147 competitors from seven clubs at the series, which ran on June 14 and July 19.

Medals were awarded from the aggregate of both short-course meets.

The Sharks had three age-group winners and nine other swimmers claim top-five finishes.

Club coach Jenny Ough said the series was a major success.

“We had a huge number of personal bests and three juniors who took off over 10 seconds in specific races,” she said.

Lily Bolton, eight and under girls, Eloise Wills, nine-year girls, and Alyssia Jenkins, 10-year girls, all finished on top of their age divisions.

Matthew Ough placed second in the 13-year boys division, while Claudia McAuliffe finished third in the 14-year girls section.
